UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡς & ἐβαπτίσθη

when & ˱she˲_/was/_baptized

The implication is that Lydia believed in Jesus and then was baptized. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “when she believed in Jesus and was baptized”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὡς δὲ ἐβαπτίσθη

when and ˱she˲_/was/_baptized

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is likely from the context that it was Paul. Alternate translation: “when Paul baptized her”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς

and the house ˱of˲_her

Luke is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and her household was also baptized”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς

the house ˱of˲_her

Here, her household refers to all the people who lived in Lydia’s house. Alternate translation: “the members of her household” or “her family and household servants”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

κεκρίκατέ

˱you_all˲_/have/_judged

The word you is plural here. Lydia is addressing Paul and his companions. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 6 topic: writing-politeness

τῷ Κυρίῳ

˱to˲_the Lord

Lydia is referring to Jesus by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: “to the Lord Jesus”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου, μένετε

/having/_come_in into the house ˱of˲_me /be/_remaining

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “please come to my house and stay with me as my guests”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

ἡμᾶς

Luke is using the pronoun us to refer to himself and his traveling companions, but not to his readers, so use the exclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
